A family were almost mown down as they tried to cross a road when a driver ran a red light and almost ploughed into them

The white Audi A4 overtook another car as it started to slow down for the traffic lights, but instead of following suit it ploughed on.

A man and two children can be seen crossing the road as the Audi races towards them.

Spotting the family at the last minute, the driver brakes momentarily, before speeding on.

Throughout the video, taken on a residential road heading out of Birmingham and towards Bromsgrove, the traffic light is seen to still be red but the driver choses to completely ignoring the warning sign.
